Microsoft should be allowed to offer any product that it creates or licensed with its Winblows. This is what is called the free market. I still would like to see Micrisift withdraw its product from South Korea, however. Actually, I would like to see Microsoft withdraw its product worldwide.

They (MS) think they can leverage their install base and THREATEN the Korean government and people… LOL… Who do they think they are?! Korea is a HI-TECH HUB. They are abound by talent. Lots of smart people there, and lots of options. They are the “next-Japan” in terms of Advanced Technology. So MS should be quivering it is boots knowing that embedded and smart devices of the future will be less associated with MS with this move.

Again, DUMB move MS!

Oh yeah right. Like they’re really gonna pull windows out of south korea?

Considering how pc literate the country’s population seems to be, i’d say there’d be linux distro’s modded for the local market for sale within days.

Either that or piracy of windows would go through the roof. Tho i suspect it’d be a case of both not one or the other. I somehow doubt this is any more than Steve “the chair” ballmer throwing another tanty.

PS for those who don’t know “tanty” means temper tantrum, you know, as in a small child demonstrating how upset they are about not getting their way.

Sounds about MS’s level of maturity to me.
